Max Winkelmann (engineering scientist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Winkelmann (born January 10, 1879 in Berlin ; † January 1, 1946 in Jena ) was a German engineer, applied mathematician and professor of technical mechanics at the University of Jena .

Life

He was the son of the businessman Paul Winkelmann and studied in Würzburg, Berlin and Göttingen. In 1904 he received his doctorate under Felix Klein in Göttingen on top theory ( on the theory of Maxwell's top ). He completed his habilitation in 1907 at the Technical University in Karlsruhe (investigations into the variation of the constants in mechanics), where he was an assistant from 1905. Winkelmann became Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Jena in 1911 as the successor to Wilhelm Kutta . In Jena he taught technical mechanics, photogrammetry and graphic statics. He remained professor in Jena until his retirement due to a nervous problem in 1938.

One of his doctoral students was Dorothea Starke .
